Hi,
So I am bundling a FileProvider Extension with my electron application and have noticed a very strange behavior. When I package my application and install/launch it from any directory everything runs perfect. However the exception is when I install it to/launch it from the /Applications folder.
Specifically I receive Cannot create domain: Error Domain=NSFileProviderErrorDomain Code=-2001 "The application cannot be used right now." which maps to providerNotFound. Seems that the provider is failing to instantiate altogether, and therefore I lack any extension functionality.
After I have run the app from the /Applications folder once if I try and run the app from any other directory it fails and I get the same error message.
Anybody have any clues as to what may be changing in my environment that driving this behavior?

Add a CommentUpon further inspection I found that I'm getting an error in the Console that seems to be the cause of the issue: "Sandbox: fileproviderd(684) deny(1) file-read-data /Applications/myApp.app/Contents/PlugIns/myHelperApp.app". Any clues as to how to resolve this issue?
Is this is a code signing issue? If so I am failing to see what I am doing wrong. I am signing my helper app through XCode with a MacOS provisioning profile, packaging it within my application, and then signing my application.
